266 MESSRS. GODM AN AND SALVIN ON NEW [Feb. 19, 



inside between the second and third median branches ; argenteous 

 spots on either side of this ocellus. 



$ . Exp. T95 in. Like the male, but the upperside crossed with 

 reddish bands corresponding to the markings of the underside ; the 

 ocellus of the underside shows above as an indistinct black spot. 



Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu (H. Rogers). 



Obs. A close ally of E. ithama, Butler (Lep. Ex. p. 9, t. iv. f. 4), 

 from which it differs in the much clearer definition of the markings 

 of the underside, the extracellular transverse cross band of the 

 secondaries being yellowish and not reddish as in E. ithama. The 

 male of E. ithama is not known to us; but, comparing the females of 

 the two species, the red markings of the upper surface of the southern 

 race are much more conspicuous than in the northern. Mr. Butler's 

 figure of E. ithama (the type of the species being before us) is much 

 too pale in general tint, and the cross bands far too conspicuously 

 shown. 



4. Lymanopoda etjopis. 



d . Exp. 2*2 in. Primaries with apical angle rather pointed, outer 

 margin of secondaries rounded ; rich brownish-black ; black ocelli 

 with white pupils between the radial nervules and the second and 

 third median branches, halfway between the cell and the outer mar- 

 gin ; a transverse row of obsolete black spots beyond the cell of the 

 secondaries : beneath reddish-brown, yellowish beyond the cell ; a 

 bicurved row of five distinct black ocelli with white pupils between the 

 cell and the outer margin of the primaries, on either side of this row 

 a sinuate black band, the distal one reddish towards the apical angle ; 

 at the end of the cell a dusky yellowish spot surrounded by a black 

 line : secondaries beneath with dark red-brown bands from costal 

 margin across the cell, and beyond the cell from the third median 

 branch to the inner margin ; a submarginal band made up of out- 

 wardly concave concentric marks ; across the wing beyond the cell 

 runs a band of seven small white-pupillated black ocelli, each on a 

 patch of rich red-brown. 



$ . Exp. 2*22 in. Brown ; primaries with six black white-pupillated 

 ocelli arranged in a double curve beyond the cell on a tawny-yellow 

 ground ; secondaries with distal half (except the margin) tawny- 

 yellow, a band of six black spots crosses the wings beyond the cell : 

 beneath tawny-yellow, the base of the primaries rather darker, ocelli 

 and markings of primaries as in the male ; secondaries almost uniform 

 tawny-yellow, the ocelli and markings almost obsolete. 



Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu (H. Rogers). 



Obs. A very distinct species of this Andean genus, the first as yet 

 found north of the Isthmus of Panama. 



5. Pedaliodes triaria. 



3 . Exp. 2*45 in. Allied to P. praxithea (Hew. Ex. Butt. Prono- 

 phila, pi. v. f. 28, 29), differing in the more pointed primaries ; the 

 orange band of the same wings is narrower and of nearly equal 

 width ; in the secondaries the orange spot, instead of being restricted
